    The previous owner fitted them in 2012, i have the car from 2017, they have traveled around 35.000 km they still have good thread and grip on dry amazing, little weaker on wet, but they are 8 years old so i'm changing them, might buy again if they are still in production.

    My experience with my, not even 4 year old, tires have been great. Until I lost 3 tires in 2 months. 2 only days apart. The tires was manifactured in 2017, I have them on my car from 2018. They have about 35000km on them. First one was infront, tire went oval shaped and I replaced the front 2 tires. The 2 at the back looked great, so I would replace them later. The yesterday the left back lost its tread on the highway. Put on thr spare and on my way to replace, the other one did the same. Both oval shaped.

    Nice cheap tires, they come standard with My K13 Nissan March and replaced all of'em for new ones. THe compound is not that bad in wet you just need to know how to run your car with care so as to not exceed the tire bandwidth.

    These tires were noisy at first and have only lasted about 20k miles
    so the rubber seems to be a soft compound, also I got more punctures that ever before so don't know if this was due to a soft compound.
    They had good grip and ability to clear water but as they wore so quickly i wouldn't buy again

    Given 77% while driving a Fiat Brava (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
    Fitted 2 Multihawks to the front of the car 2 years ago and they have covered 25000 miles and whilst still legal are due to be changed. Even although i have an old car good rubber is important and despite being a little noisy the Firestones have been very good tires whether in the wet, dry, snow and ice they always performed well. So i will definitely be purchasing them again as the price is very good on the wallet.

    Second set that I've fitted to my Focus. Just over £200 locally for an all in fitted price. Great value all-round tire offering total confidence in both dry and wet conditions. Tested to the max. fully laden driving through the wilds of North Wales. My son was gob smacked at the price I paid for a decent name tire and has just put a set on his Golf. Highly recommended for a family car

    Given 94% while driving a Citroën (185/65 R15) on mostly town for 15,000 average miles
    I have been driving for over 47 years and have used many makes of tire. Prior to these Firestone Multihawks I had Michelin tires fitted to my Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0 HDI. They were ok, but were very noisy and gave an uncomfortable ride. The Firestone Multihawks, however, are quiet and just do their job without any problems whatsoever! I have had them on the road for about 18 months now and they are driven every day and they appear to be as new as the day they were fitted. These tires are incredible value for money and I will without any doubt at all replace my tires with the very same Firestone Multihawks, but I do believe that that will be quite some time away! Great tires, safe, quiet and durable!

    These tires are cheap and you know it. Driving my new (secondhand) car home in the wet, round a tight bend not particularly fast (in the old car would've been faster with 100% grip) and the car just starts to under steer. Rubbish. Tires are the most important things on the car. Why skimp? These are coming off and Goodyear Vector 4Seasons or Vredistein Quatrac3 going on instead.

    I had Firestone Tires on the car since new. It is a Ford Focus Desal Estate. I bought the car in Feb 2002 Brand new as an import.
    It had Firestone Fuel efficent tires on as new and I can't find these now. I changed the fronts after 15,000 miles and bought Multi hawks. These lasted 17,000 due to slight wheel misalignement and would have lasted to maybe 18,500. This time I changed the backs as well after 32,000 miles as one had a nail in it close to the shoulder, again they could have gone 2,000 plus more. I can say the multihawks lasted well and I never had a moment when I doubted them. OK 32,000 in 8 years is not a lot (I have an Alfa GTV as well) but the cost fitted for the new ones was ?185 fitted which is bettter thn 3-4 years ago at the the same place. I did research and was tempted to change but the performance v wear and cost swayed me back. I have had the car a long time and if I change in the next year I wanted lower cost but trusted tires. Avon ZV3's where ?250 for 4 and even the Maragoni at Quickfit would have cost ?238. Considering the tire compounds break down in 6 yrs or so these tires wear in excellent nick on the sidewalls on both sides as I did look at them once they where off. I found the roadholding excellent on the Firestone Fuel saver rears but then this is an estate that won't hang it's rear out. I noticed the new tires where quieter and the stearing a bit more positve again I would recommend them for most but the most aggressive drivers but having said that I can speed abit on the motorways. I will right another reoprt in a few months as I do more miles these days.

    Given 80% while driving a Fiat Panda (165/65 R14) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
    At first when I saw these tires on my new car, I was seriously considering changing them, but after driving, sometimes very aggressively, I have to say these tires are very good in dry and wet, so good that I'm defiantly going to buy them again for my car.

    I wouldn't necessarily recommend them for a super car, but for your average family car they perform admirably and won't let you down in an emergency. I can't comment on the wear as I haven't had them long enough, but first impressions are very good.

    These tires are great for road handling, grip and motorway driving. The only problem is the performance on bumpy roads where they are very twitchy.
    Recently had to emergency stop from 45mph because of deer running on to the road and the tires performed remarkably!
    Feedback from the road is very very good (perhaps too good); poor road surfaces lead to an uncomfy journey.
